The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:21:21 at Birmingham 2026 put Frankie Payne 168th of 359 men in the Open division, ahead of 53% of the field.
The runs carried this race: faster than 64% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 38% on the stations. Nowhere gained more than the sled pull: 1:02 on the median. If there was time left out there, it was on the burpee broad jumps, 2:00 behind the median.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and London Olympia 2026 were 1:29 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
